Twenty Years Later
This first photograph of my daughter, Caitlin, and me was published in the 1990 catalog and the second photograph was taken earlier this year in New Zealand when I was visiting Caitlin. Even though 20 years have passed, Caitlin is still my little girl and it is fun to share this recent photo of both of us together.
Caitlin moved to New Zealand after she finished her BFA in Graphic Design. While she was there, she worked for a design firm in Wellington. It was wonderful to know that she was following in my footsteps as an artist and designer, but difficult to have her so far away.
To my delight, she has just recently moved back to the U.S. and is here helping us at MFD with some marketing projects and also on a new product line. We are having so much fun! I appreciate her fresh perspective and the contributions she’s been making to the new line. Both Caitlin and I are very excited about this new endeavor that will be available in January of 2011.
For right now, Caitlin and I are both contributing articles in this Christmas Ideas section of the website. I hope you are enjoying this new section in our website. We have provided a place for you to comment on these articles and also you will be able to read the comments from others. We love hearing from you!

Hello Margaret and Caitlin,
Great photo! Your website is fun, unique and creative. It was great to chat Margaret. I passed along your sweet comments to Marcie Stalder. Judy Windle is the friend you know. Marcie said her husband died this past year. Peggy Windle is a second cousin to Judy and now lives in Eugene. I have her email and will tell her about you, Caitlin and Salem.
It was special to connect. We’ll await the falling leaf pins. Continued success.
Fellow Nebraskan,
Wallis Swanson
